Author E.C. Fisher weaves an action-packed mystery thriller with intriguing twists and turns that will easily captivate the reader’s attention from the beginning. The author paints an adventurous and action-packed story in a very vivid and convincing way. In addition, the characters are drawn with great credibility and conviction. It’s a fast-paced novella that will keep you engaged from the first page to the last.
The book description gives a sneak preview; ‘Noah Knolls’ mother set him up to stay with his long-lost father’s old friend, Walter when he takes a vacation back home to New York. A visit that turns into something more heinous than he could have imagined.
Upon arrival at the airport, Noah is attacked by a group of strange men, Walter arrives in the nick of time to in aid his escape. Later, he learns his mother was kidnapped by an ancient sect and using information along with a special key left to him by his father they enter the sect’s secret temple.
Noah and Walter have descended into a world far darker than either of them knew. Agents of the sect chase them through darkened streets, as a decades-old conspiracy has been unmasked, and Noah is right in the center of it.’
Now, if that’s not enough to get your curiosity juices flowing, I don’t know what will. But if you want to find out what happens, you’ll just have to turn the pages for yourself! However, I will say it was well worth the read. It’s my third time reading this author and I must say I was very impressed yet again.
Masked Conspiracy had every element a good story should have. An intriguing plot, attention to detail, but best of all fleshed out, well-written and well-rounded character development. There’s an abundance of well-illustrated scenes that make you feel like you are right there in the story, and that’s something I really look for in a good book. The story flowed from scene to scene with ease, and the author shows exceptional ability when it comes to storytelling.
I enjoyed the story and dialogue, and there were plenty of plot twists that I didn’t see coming that added to the book’s mystique. When I stopped reading to work, I found myself wondering what happened in the book, and replaying parts of the novel in my head to see if I could figure more out. It has been a while since I enjoyed a book this much. It’s a first-class mystery thriller with perfect pacing. Not much is as it appears here, which is just the way fans of thriller and suspense will want it! There’s more to come from this story and I’ll also add that it has a distinctly cinematic feel to it.
I’m a fan of E. C. Fisher so this book comes highly recommended and gets a well-deserved five stars from me. I’ll be looking forward to reading more from Mr. Fisher in the future.

About the author
A Cult Kidnapping Results In An Edgy Game Of Cat & Mouse!
Overview: Seven years after the disappearance of his father, Noah Knolls has many questions. Noah’s mother sends him to stay with his long-lost father’s oldest friend Walter in New York. But, what was supposed to be a short stay takes a drastic turn when Noah is suddenly attacked by members of an ancient cult. E.C. Fisher’s “Masked Conspiracy” draws readers in from the very start of this high-energy action adventure containing allusions to a bizarre sect, a ritual murder, a husband in peril, a broken family, and a son left behind to pick up the pieces of his family’s life. Where most stories involving a man leading a secret double-life take the route of following that particular character as they try to right the wrongs of the past and protect their loved ones’ futures, “Masked Conspiracy” uniquely chooses to peel the layers of this dark mystery thriller through the eyes of a young, untested but somewhat street-savvy teen named Noah. Though perhaps a bit stereotypical in some regards when compared to other stories in this genre, Fisher’s characters do remain credible and are instantly engaging. New clues and discoveries are generously peppered throughout the plotline, and as each page begs to be turned, the danger mounts and the pressure increases while the adventure plows ahead full-force. What results is a tense and edgy game of cat and mouse as Noah, aided by his father’s faithful old friend, Walter, embarks on a mission to put together the unspoken pieces of the past, elude capture, and gain the upper hand against the cultists threatening his life and family. I highly recommend this book for mystery-thriller fans ages 17 to adult—Especially older teens who enjoy danger, suspense, and adventure. This story does contain some graphic violence and adult situations, but no more than the average teen read.
